The successful synthesis of ruthenium oxide/reduced graphene oxide (RuO/rGO) heterostructures by one-pot hydrothermal method using graphene oxides and RuCl as precursors is reported. The heterostructures had high peroxidase-like (POD-like) activities, which catalyzes the oxidation of classical peroxidase substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of HO to create a blue colored reaction product. The catalytic activity was significantly enhanced by the synergistic effect between RuO nanoparticles and rGO. RuO/rGO had a low K of 0.068 mM and a high v of 1.228 × 10 M·s towards TMB in the TMB-HO catalytic oxidation system. In addition, the POD-like activity originating from the electron transfer mechanism was confirmed by cytochrome C (Cyt C) oxidation experiment. A colorimetric method based on RuO/rGO heterostructures was developed with good sensitivity and selectivity for glucose detection with a limit of detection of 3.34 μM and a linear range of 0-1500 μM. The RuO/rGO heterostructures have potential applications in the biomedical areas, such as biosensor and diagnostics.

Developing highly active and durable catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) under acidic conditions is key to commercializing green hydrogen production via water splitting. Here, we fabricated a cobalt oxide (CoO)-synergized nickel-doped ruthenium oxide (Ni-RuO) heterojunction on reduced graphene oxide (CoO/Ni-RuO/rGO) as an efficient and durable OER electrocatalyst in acidic electrolytes. The interface of CoO/Ni-RuO heterojunction and doping of Ni into RuO, as well as their effect on electronic structure, were examined by advanced characterizations.

By annealing an Fe(III)-coordination compound (Fe-CC), [FeCl(Hbta)] (Hbta = benzotriazole) in the presence of a carbon nanotube precursor (PCNT) template, an FeN/FeN/Fe/CNT heterostructure was successfully synthesized without an extra nitrogen source. The decomposition of the Hbta in Fe-CC under high-temperature annealing can produce carbon sheets and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and the presence of CNTs can alleviate the stacking of thegenerated carbon materials. Meanwhile, iron nitride nanoparticles (NPs) can be anchored on the carbon sheets, and the anchoring effect efficiently prevents the agglomeration of NPs and increases the amount of active catalytic sites for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER).

Rational hybridization of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with extrinsic species has shown great promise for boosting the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). To date, the rational design and engineering of heterojunctions based on three or more components has been rather limited. Herein, by taking advantage of the high intrinsic activity of NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH), strong synergistic effects between different components, and good electronic conductivity of reduced graphene oxide (rGO), we demonstrate the successful synthesis of NiMoO/NiFe LDH/rGO nanosheets.

Flocculation or restacking of different kinds of two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets into heterostructure nanocomposites is of interest for the development of high-performance electrode materials and catalysts. However, lacking a molecular-scale control on the layer sequence hinders enhancement of electrochemical activity. Herein, we conducted electrostatic layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly, employing oxide nanosheets (e.
